We are thankful to God for great weather and some great play today at the Year 5-8 South Zone Winter tournament. We have 6 of our 8 teams through to the Canterbury Champs on Thursday 24 August.

South Zone Winners today:

Year 7/8 Hockey, Year 7/8 Rugby, Year 7/8 Netball and Year 5/6 Rugby were all unbeaten. The Year 5/6 Football won their grade and the Year 7/8 Football were 2nd to qualify – both teams only losing one game..

Not qualifying but doing very well were the Year 5/6 Hockey in 2nd and the Year 5/6 Netball in 3rd.

A big thanks to the teachers and parents for taking teams and also to our supporters!

Sam Meecham again proved too strong for all of the Primary and CAIMS (Canterbury Association of Intermediate and Middle Schools) runners yesterday at the Primary Sports Canterbury Cross Country championships at Roto Kohatu Reserve. He lead from start to finish to win the Year 8 Boys’ grade. Both Matthew Fairhall and Max Blockley had strong races in the Year 7 Boys’ race to finish 15th and 21st.

We are very thankful to God for such great weather for our Year 0-4 Cross Country Challenge yesterday. We had 343 children take part from 14 school and all students tried very hard and seemed to enjoy the experience.

The Hillview runners all did so well and we had four individual winners and two team wins from the eight races. Special congratulations to winners Vadim Pulin (Y1 Boys), Manny Thrupp (Y2 Boys), Louis Dowall (Y3 Boys) and Abby Graham (Y3 Girls) and to the Year 3 Girls and Boys teams.

Rippa Team 4th Our Year 6 Rippa team did so well today to finish 4th in Canterbury. They were 2nd in their pool, only losing one game by one point to eventual winners Paparoa Street.
